If only I didn't have so many other bikes that I need/want! My next bike has those weird 23mm skinny tires and no suspension. Someday I'll actually need a FS, for now my pro29 is keeping me all smiles. I imagine upgrade-itis has set in for you now that the JET has a couple years on it...

Nope. Not yet. I'd have to sell a kidney even if I did have an itch. I already got my upgrade this year via a rebuilt rear hub and a new chain for the JET which is about all my budget allowed this year.

Yes, your back has another decade in it before you start begging for squish.

1. The frame looks heavy, it will be interesting to get final specs.
2. It is very different from the Moots, they are both Ti, but that's where the similarities end. 100mm vs. 120mm, and radically different geometry. The moots top tube goes right into the rear shock, on the Lynskey it goes all the way into the seat tube. One of many differences.
3. I'd like to see them offer an 100mm travel FS bike, I would disagree with the presenter on the video that anything less than 120mm and you should be on a hardtail. But I can understand whey they would start with 120mm.
4. I can't help but think the geometry on this is a bit unrefined. It is very complex and looks very difficult to manufacture. Ti FS bikes are in their infancy it seems.

Looks like their old Niota but with awful/poorly thought cable routing and NO water bottle mounts. Are you suppose to wear a camel back on a "race" bike??? .

Looking at the geometry of the Lynskey and the Moots, I think the only cable routing change they could have made would have been a top pull front der.. Agreed on the water bottle mounts -- odd that they didn't include at least one mount. Guess you'd have to shove a bottle in your jersey, or duct-tape it to the top tube
